Every aspect of the holiday was fantastic. The cycling routes were great, the choice of locations on the islands lovely. The quality of the bikes very good. The boat was beautifully maintained, the crew friendly and efficient and the quality of food very high. It was very much appreciated that we did not have to move our bikes from the boat onto the quayside. The two guides Dora and Sanya were outstanding, professional throughout, flexible to accommodate changing needs within the group, knowledgeable and always high energy and smiling!

This was my first time doing a trip of this type, and I’m hooked. I only hope that my future trips will compare to how well Sail Croatia did. From the quality of food while on the boat to its staff to the wonderful tour guides, there was nothing to complain about! This all fostered an environment where you genuinely got to know the others on the trip with you, and became fast friends. It was a sad event when the trip was over and we all had to go out separate ways.

The cruise ship was lovely and is very well maintained by the Captain and crew. We were made to feel very welcome by both the Sail Croatia guides, Dora and Sanja, and all the crew of the ship Emanuel Everyone looked after us incredibly well and the guides were fun, energetic and very helpful. Going with a group of friends was great fun but we all bonded well with the other passengers on the trip and the dynamic was positive and very friendly. It felt like one big , happy family. I would definitely travel with Sail Croatia again. Some of the hills are quite steep for cycling even though the distances are not huge (Split to Dubrovnik). On a normal bike the hills were sometimes challenging in the heat. We travelled in early June and the sun was already hot. The islands are lovely and the views from the top of the hills, once you reach the top are beautiful. It was a great holiday.

This was my first international trip, and the sail/cycle experience exceeded every expectation in every way. I don’t have much to compare it to, but Sail Croatia seems to have perfected their operations in such a way as to give each traveler the best experience possible. First, the Mali Ante was a wonderful vessel…clean and comfortable. From there it just gets better. The crew…seriously I wish I could have brought them all home with me. They were PHENOMENAL. The chef and his staff provided wonderful culinary delights, and were so accommodating with dietary issues. Amazing. The crew managing the galley and bar….OUTSTANDING! I adored them all. The best part…our cycle guides Miranda and Tonka…they were just amazing. I hadn’t been on a bike in over 10 years, and had little experience compared to the others in the group…and they were so helpful and supportive. The rides were challenging for me, but the support was amazing. I have no idea how I will top this experience. 🫶🏼🇭🇷🫶🏼

Sail/Bike Croatia exceeded all my expectations. My cabin on deck level was perfect - the food was plentiful and delicious. Every day of the bike riding was varied -pleasurable and challenging.. Wow, what a fabulous group of new friends made x

1. Sanja and Dora were Fantastic! They made an amazing team. They were both very engaged with we clients, very animated, very thoughtful and knowledgeable. They both clearly love their job and enjoy working with each other,, which adds to the experience. 2. The captain and crew of the Emanuel - also Fantastic. They were very attentive to our needs. They were also very engaging and enjoyable to talk with. 3. This was a total luck of the draw, but the other passengers we traveled with really made the whole trip amazingly enjoyable. Everyone enjoyed everyone else and there was no drama! Overall a wonderful trip which we will repeat!!

The Crew on Eos were professional & fulfilled their roles with friendliness & care. In addition the cycling crew had safety in mind all the time whilst also recognising & catering for different abilities. Jošco was very knowledgeable & informative with local history, nature & the geography of the islands which made our holiday so much more interesting.during the daily cycles. We appreciated the stops for coffee & a swim during the rides. Lovre dealt with a life threatening medical emergency with maturity & calmness whilst also resolving a random conflict with a stranger. Jošco dealt with the logistics of the medical incident with professionalism & care to those involved. Two outstanding employees. I was surprised the cycling crew were not given the cycling ability information we had all submitted - this would have helped them have knowledge prior to our arrival.
- Helen, 14/06/2025 07:04, Travelled with Friend/s
We really enjoyed cycling the Croatian Islands and our knowledgeable guides shared many interesting details about the history and culture of Croatia. We did two trips, Split Northern return and the Split South to Dubrovnik. Both were fantastic trips and different in their own way. Tonka and Lola guided our first journey and did a great job of supporting us on our old school pedal bikes. Marin and Karlo were our second set of guides and once again provided excellent support for what was our first e-bike experience. The Sail Croatia ships (Mali Ante and Columbo) were both comfortable and are staffed by an amazing crew. The captain and crew's hard work and dedication is reflected in the pristine condition of the ships. The food for both cruises was delicious and plentiful. We did a Sail Croatia cycle tour in 2018 and enjoyed it so much we came back.! This second adventure exceeded our expectations and left us with some wonderful holiday memories.
- Anne, 13/06/2025 19:51, Travelled with Family
Perfect weather! Beautiful boat with excellent staff, nothing was too much trouble.. Excellent food, various diets catered for, and a good range of drinks! But best of all was where we were … from Dubrovnik to Split we anchored in islands of such beauty and grace, so much history and interest and terrific cycle riding with excellent guides - I honestly didn’t want to leave.. Without a doubt I will be returning, with Sail Croatia!!!
- Kate, 13/06/2025 18:21, Travelled with Friend/s
This was a 5 star holiday from start to finish. We had the perfect balance of exercise and free time to relax. The boat and cabins were spacious and comfortable. Lucy & Harris served us the most delicious breakfast & 3 course lunches every day. Our lead guide Josko was amazing! He gave us a daily briefing on the route and was highly organised. I felt so safe while biking on the roads, nothing was left to chance. Josko had so much local knowledge and gave us a taste of Croatian history. We learned about this beautiful country while cycling through some of the most panoramic views I've ever seen. One thing I will say was that any request my group had was accomadated immediately. I fell in love with Croatia and it's people. We are already planning our next trip. I highly recommend Sail Croatia, just do it!!! Nessa Darcy

We were a large group of 8 couples- our ship Eos was a perfect size to cater for us and other guests. Very comfortable cabins and large social spaces. The food was very good and the staff very attentive. We booked the cycling trip - the bikes were a good quality and we loved exploring the various islands on our bikes each day - all very well led by our excellent tour manager Joške. Highly recommend!

This cycling cruise was the BEST ever. I loved the quaintness of the smaller cruiseship & the crew was wonderful. Our cycle guides Luciya & Ivan P were personable, knowledgeable about Croatia & its history, super fun and safety was always a priority. Our passenger group really bonded from the beginning & I now have new friends around the world I can go visit & keep in touch with. Go For It & take a Sail Croatia Cruise
- Denise, 12/06/2025 22:49, Travelled with Friend/s
The staff on the ship were so great and patient with a group of "old" ladies. The food was fabulous! Because I wake up so early, the chef always offered to get me some tea even if it was 2 hours before the kitchen opening. Our guides, Miranda and Anna were exceptional. On the 2nd day, I realized I wasn't going to be able to climb the hills and Miranda offered to give me her ebike. That isn't something that happens very often.

Sail Croatia made our week of cycling and sailing the Croatian islands amazing. The staff were great and our fellow travellers were all very easy to travel with fun to get to know . They were organized and the food was terrific. I was worried I wasn’t fit enough but I did well on the bikes.

My entire family loved cruising from one beautiful Croatian island to the next and touring around each stop on e-bikes. We got to see much more of each island than if we had hiked or just stayed overnight in each port town/city. The crew & guides are lovely people: professional, friendly & kind. Matilda & Sardan are also skilled bike riders who were patient & accommodated all the varied skill levels. They were knowledgable about each stop, offering wonderful suggestions for dining & site-seeing while on our own to explore. We met wonderful new friends and enjoyed traveling with every single person on our boat. This trip was absolutely AMAZING from start to finish - I can't recommend it enough! My family and I are still stunned at the many incredible views we biked to and the fun of having an active vacation and meeting great people while enjoying wonderful food and wine and exploring so much of beautiful Croatia. We are SO glad we went on this unforgettable adventure!

The staff, crew, tour leaders and guests on this boat were a fantastic bunch. Loved every minute. Had an issue with my room. Not what I was expecting for the price and supplement but that wasn’t going to spoil my trip. Boat was great, bar area very social. George n Danilo were great and George’s food was very good. Danny on the bar was the best barman very efficient and fun. Ivancic and Mario were a superb team, we have cycled with Ivancic before. He will never let you down he’s a very focussed customer driven guide. Very trustworthy. We’d like to return but we have visited most of the islands on your itinerary’s… any chance you could mix it up abit? Thanks again. Great holiday x

This tour is a great blend of cruising and riding. The guides, Miranda and Ana, were attentive to a fault, doing their best to keep everyone happy., as were the ship's crew. Guides and crew themselves seemed delighted to be there! The ship, the Mali Ante, was beautiful, clean, and well-run. The riding was well-planned, taking us along relatively easy routes in the countryside, and giving us a taste of many towns and villages, The meals were sumptuous and lovingly prepared. Someone considering this tour should know: - the rides are short, on average, so if they want more focus on cycling, this may not be the tour for them - the saddles for the e-bikes are hard and flat, so it might be an idea to bring a gel cover for comfort - the crew does smoke, and the smoke seems to come into some of the rooms at times, through the ventilation system. - the meals were very meat-heavy Altogether, with these caveats, this was a beautiful tour, thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Wonderful Guides: josip and Calem, Princess Diana Boat and awesome Group. We loved the rides each day. Views were amazing. There were some days with a bit of elevation which made the bike climbs extra sweet with unexpected views.. Guides were great at prepping us for the day and helping those that needed assistance. The boat was clean and spacious. The best part were the new friends we made from around the world. Loved our week..

The biking leaders Ana and Miranda were just fabulous, not only leading us on beautiful rides, but ensuring everyone was together and safe. We were also looked forward to Ana's daily stories. The entire crew cheerfully made sure we were well fed and taken care of. The only negative I have is that while none of our group smoked, cigarette smoke entered our cabins through vents. That should be addressed.
- Carol, 09/06/2025 12:37, Travelled with Friend/s
Sail Croatia was hands down one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped onto the boat, I felt welcomed, safe, and genuinely cared for. The staff were absolutely incredible- so loving, kind, and attentive. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You could tell they really cared about our experience, and that made all the difference. The boat itself was immaculate. Everything was kept so neat and tidy throughout the entire week, and it truly felt like a floating home. But what made the trip even more special were the people. I met some of the most amazing souls – people who started as strangers and became true friends, and even family. There's a unique bond that forms when you’re sailing, sharing meals, and cycling long miles. I can’t recommend Sail Croatia enough. Thank you, Sail Croatia, for the memories, the friendships, and the magic. I’ll treasure this forever!

I have just returned from an unforgettable week sailing and cycling onboard the Eos. Everything went so well from beginning to end. The boat was fantastic.. The staff catered for our every need. Lucy & Harris on the interior looked after us so well with food & drinks. The chefs did an incredible job catering for all the different dietary requirements. Our cycle guides were amazing. Joško & Lovre took such good care of us all. Their passion for their job and their country is evident. They brought us to the most beautiful places. This week onboard has been one of my favorite ever experiences. Croatia and its people are truly wonderful and I am completely in love. Puno ljubavi ❤️

I had not done a trip like this before so wasn’t sure what to expect. It was such a wonderful way to see a country. I am glad I got an e-bike as there were many hills that I would not have been able to ride with a regular bike. The views were always stunning. The food was great. The captain and crew were experienced to know how to adapt the trip to keep is safe while getting the most out of our experience. The bed/room was comfy and clean and provided Air Conditioning for hot nights. WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE AND GREAT MEMORIES!

From the moment we arrived to the ship, we received a friendly and professional greeting. The crew and guides were fantastic - did their utmost to accommodate any requests. 'J' our lead guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great historical account on our routes. All the crew: J, Louvre, Lucy, Harris went above and beyond, the chefs (food was great!) captains (smooth sailing all the way!) - everyone was so nice. The route and scenery exceeded expectations and we enjoyed swim stops along the way. The rest of the group that we met were all so welcoming and everyone mixed well with lots of chats and laughter. I would highly recommend.

The most amazing experience that surpassed all my expectations. The perfect mix of activity and relaxation. We cycled around stunning islands and moored at beautiful harbours. The food on board was excellent and the people I met were a joy. It felt like family by the end of the trip. Our cycled guide Josko was informed, professional, great fun and passionate about his country, giving us insights into the history of this incredible region along with great laughs, encouragement and always making us feel safe. The rest of the staff were superb also. Definitely a trip to be remembered for a long time to come, so sad that it’s over and planning the next one already 🙂

With 3 20-something-year-old kids beginning to go in different directions, we were looking to explore Croatia together and solidify a vacation full of lifelong family memories together. I stumbled upon Sail Croatia as we looked for ways to see the coastal cities and islands. Boy, were we glad we did! An extra bonus was the ability to combine a bit of adventure and activity through a biking cruise. I can't say enough positive things about our experience on Mali Luka and the wonderful crew and captain. Our leaders Mila and Mario, were full of knowledge, experience, hospitality, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, kindness and a passion for the beauty and history of their country. The entire experience was top-notch. The meals and service on board were exceptional and delivered with a smile - always. We loved getting to know so many people from across the world with peace and trust and hospitality. We will forever cherish our memories and new friends from our Sail Croatia experience!

Took this trip with my family as a last hurrah before my sister gets married. It was everything and more I could have hoped for! I truly believe it was the best way to see Croatia. We did the cycling cruise and visited so many incredible places on the islands we wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. Our boat was always clean, the meals were FANTASTIC, but what really made it was the crew and our cycling guides. Haleem, one of our crew members, catered to every need and was always around to chat with us or teach us a new card game. Our cycling guides, Mila and Mario, were so knowledgeable and made sure to always provide us with the most out of every opportunity. Would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Our food was amazing everyday because of an excellent Chef and Sous Chef. Mario, made sure are food was delivered hot, quickly and efficiently with lots of warm smiles. He was constantly observant as he met our needs before we even asked.. Ivan and Ilia were available should there be other needs we had. Anytime we asked!! All these crew members did it with smiles and warm hearts wanting to make our time the best ever!!

I especially enjoyed the history he shared with us. He is literally a "walking encyclopedia "!The cycling tours were breath taking, exciting and at times very relaxing. Johnny was awesome as a second tour guide. It was reassuring to have him following the group. He also provided so much pertinent information and awesome recommendations. They were both very gracious and giving. Bruno was exceptional, as well. In his quiet and unassuming manner he served food and drinks so respectfully and efficiently. The entire crew was terrific. This has been a truly wonderful time. Thank you to all!

Joined a friend on a Sail Croatia (cycling) trip, island hopping to 7 islands and riding every day with a guide. Efficient way to see a range of lovely islands but also to get out of the villages and see the countryside. Small enough group to be manageable. Knowledgeable guides, friendly crew. All round good time. Would 100% recommend.

Captain Ante and his crew were efficient, friendly, and always available to help, creating a relaxed and safe atmosphere on board.

We had such an amazing time on the Princeza Diana with Marin and Ivan and the rest of the crew. The biking was very safe thanks to Marin and Ivan and the views were stunning. Marin was very particular in keeping us in line which was a good thing - safety first. We all had so much fun!! The islands had some of the best views I have ever seen and without cycling to the top, most visitors would never see these views. Our meals were amazing and all the crew members were friendly and met all our needs. They all worked so hard. Our rooms had a good amount of space and were very clean. I loved the upper deck with the loungers. We ended up having a few yoga classes thanks to Jan (one of the guests). I would highly recommend Sail Croatia. I miss everyone already and we have only been home 3 days. THANK YOU SAIL CROATIA!!!
